I know David is angling for a bite here, but I'll oblige.
Firstly, "Rails" is a Web application development framework written in
and for the Ruby programming language. Thus it is incommensurate with
Python - the correct comparison is with Web frameworks written in and
for the Python programming language, of which the two most popular and
advanced are TurboGears and Django. Comparison of the underlying
programming languages, Ruby versus Python, is also important.
I have already ventured my opinion on which Web framework/programming
language combinations of these choices are better.
Regarding Ruby-on-Rails, is the Horst Rails Express running a bit
late,
or is the Stationmaster's clock just fast? Or is the problem, as
British
Rail were wont to explain when faced with a late-running train when I
lived (briefly, mercifully) in Britain: "Wrong sort of snow on
tracks."
There was a momentary delay as the train met a 'live' speed bump that
resulted in three
wriggly segments. As to that other rumour of a rusted smalltalk train
being left at the station, that was an exaggeration.
All I can think about for the coming Christmas is a RESTful Rails
trip to the SEASIDE.
